On December 19, 2024, Paul McCartney concluded his "Got Back" tour with a memorable performance at London's O2 Arena. The concert featured a surprise reunion with fellow Beatle Ringo Starr, marking their first joint performance in five years. Together, they delighted the audience with renditions of classics like "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)" and "Helter Skelter."

The event was further highlighted by the appearance of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, who joined McCartney for the song "Get Back." Notably, McCartney played his original Hofner 500/1 bass during this performance—the first time in 50 years—after it was recovered earlier in 2024 following its theft in 1972.

Throughout the nearly three-hour show, McCartney paid heartfelt tributes to his late bandmates, John Lennon and George Harrison, incorporating virtual duets and archival footage to honor their legacy. The setlist spanned his extensive career, featuring Beatles classics such as "Hey Jude," "Can't Buy Me Love," and "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," as well as solo hits like "Band on the Run" and the James Bond theme "Live and Let Die," which was accompanied by pyrotechnics.

This final show of the "Got Back" tour not only celebrated McCartney's enduring musical legacy but also underscored the timeless appeal of The Beatles' music, leaving fans with cherished memories of a historic reunion.❣️🎸

This mastering engineer in the post below knows exactly what he’s talking about. As a young producer, I took a vinyl mastering course in the 70s to spiff up my knowledge of how to mix and master for vinyl, sInce into the 80s, vinyl was the main delivery format. What he is saying in this video is exactly what I learned at that time.

New Moon Records will soon be embarking on our own completely analog series of recordings. It will not be vinyl however, as vinyl is very expensive to produce, and very unfriendly to the environment, not to mention that the last time I checked, the lab we use was booked up 7 months in advance.

We will be bringing our musical friends into our music dome and recording direct stereo reel to reel. Then, we will duplicate that directly to Cassette on our KABA system, which dups 10 tapes in real time at maximum quality. There will be no digital steps in the chain. On the cassettes, we will use premium metal tapes with no noise reduction.

We will also offer a more processed digital version made from the analog master to the music services for wider distribution, as our cassettes will be very limited production.

We are excited to start this project and will keep you posted regarding it. We are also happy to see the resurgence of cassette music delivery for analog buffs.

Meantime, check out the young mastering engineer's comments below.....See Comments

This is a close-up of the ecosystem that has formed inside one of the watering stations that I keep for the fauna and birds in the desert during the summer.

This is an acrylic sculpture by my late friend Peter Spoecker. It is illuminated underneath by a studio light. This is what you get when I work in the studio beyond the burnout point.
